2011 Budds Creek Motocross | 250 Report

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Tyla Rattray, of South Africa, won his second race of the year in the 250 Class Saturday at Budds Creek, Round four of the 2011 AMA Motocross Championship.

The first moto of the 250 Class featured a dominant performance from Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Dean Wilson, of Scotland. The defending race winner at Budds Creek looked to be in position to go back-to-back, but Rattray outran his teammate and the rest of the field to lead every lap of Moto 2 and finish with 2-1 scores.

As a result, the current 250cc Motocross points leader became the first rider this season in the 250 Class to lead the championship standings over consecutive weeks.

Tyla Rattray (Monster Energy Kawasaki KX250F Motocross) says: “I think it’s important in a championship to be up front. It’s important to be on podium as much as you can, and that’s what I’ve done so far. I just want to get big points at each round and stay consistent. Having such strong competitors makes you dig deeper, and I just want it really bad.”

The Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team also maintained its current streak of winning every moto and overall so far this season.
